No reason why not. It's just designed for more pro camera users who want a fast continuious shooting mode. Just dont expect it to be any faster then ordinary ones.

you should be fine.
i have an Ultra2 CF card in a CF2IDE adapter, hooked into an IDE2SCSI bridge card connected to an A500 GVPHD8+
plus i have an Ultra3 connected the same way to an A500 GVPA530.

all working well :)

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD

:lol: , was thinking about it to see if i could hook up an Sata drive, but Compact flash... mere words cannot describe the heavenly sound of silence after suffering the whining howl of a 17+yr old 52Mb SCSI drive :-)

Great thanks, these are $6 cheaper than the originals (!!).  I thought the A1200 ide interface wouldn't "keep up with it", whatever that might mean..

It won't. The A1200 IDE interface will be the bottleneck - so the card will slow down.

I have 3 of them (2 GB versions) and they work great, via IDE or PCMCIA. :cheers:
